Who we are

This Privacy Statement is issued by Sun Limited and applies to all Personal Information collected by its subsidiaries, affiliates and related entities. We are the data controller of the Personal Information we collect from you. 

What is Personal Information

The term “Personal Information” refers to any information that can be used to identify you as an

individual. It can include, amongst other things, your name, address, age, gender and your financial information.

What Personal Information is collected

  • your name and contact details (including postal address, email, phone number)
  • payment card details, when facilitating payment by card
  • information about your travel, for instance when you choose to book airport transfer or require us to organize tours on your behalf
  • more sensitive information about you, your health, religion or culture for instance when you require wheel chair access, special assistance or special dietary needs.

During your stay we will also record your itemized spending to be billed to your room and any communication which you have sent to us.

How we collect your Personal Information

We collect your Personal Information when you make a reservation at any of our resorts, either via our website or through our reservation team.

Our online reservation system is managed by Sabre Hospitality Solutions. When you make a reservation online, you will be asked to provide specific Personal Information, including your name, contact details and credit card number. This information will be sent to SynXis, the guest reservation system managed by Sabre Hospitality Solutions, through the booking “API”. At our end, we store the SynXis booking confirmation number and the email address used for the booking to enable you to modify your reservation at a later stage.

Where you are proceeding to pay by credit card, we use a javascript plugin to verify your credit card number. However, we don’t process any payment. All payments are processed and managed by Sabre Hospitality Solutions, via SynXis. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of Sabre, accessible at https://www.sabre.com , as their privacy practices may differ from ours. We do not share your credit card number with any other third party provider.

When this occurs, all identifiers are removed, and the aggregate information cannot be linked to any specific guests.

Who do we share your Personal Information with

We routinely share your Personal Information with the following persons:

  • our employees for purposes of delivering the service or conducting internal analysis with a view to improving our services;
  • our tour operators solely on your requests;
  • our agents, contractors or third-party service providers who may receive your Personal Information in the course of providing the services to us and which we require in order to better serve your needs as a guest of our resorts.

We take great measures to ensure that all of your Personal Information is kept safely. We take steps to ensure that only designated persons have access to your Personal Information on a strictly need-to-know basis for purposes of rendering the services. Furthermore, all third persons with whom we share your Personal Information are under a contractual obligation with us to protect all Personal Information to which they have access.

We will also share your Personal Information without first obtaining your express consent as follows:

Except as provided for above, we will not share your Personal Information with any third parties unless with your express consent.

Whether providing Personal Information is mandatory 

The Personal Information that we require from you is to enable us to offer our services to you and to respond to your specific requests or needs. You are under no obligation to provide these information to us but if you don’t, we will be limited in the scope of the services which we can deliver to you.  

How long do we store your Personal Information 

Your Personal Information will be stored for as long required to fulfil our business purpose and for the period of time required by law in the jurisdiction of any hotel holding your Personal Information.

Legal basis for collecting your Personal Information

We are committed to collecting and using your information in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

We will only collect, use and share your Personal Information where we are satisfied that we have an appropriate legal basis to do this.

This may be because:

  • you have provided your consent to us using the Personal Information for specified purposes;
  • our use of your Personal Information is necessary to provide you with the service under our contract with you, for example, making and managing your booking and performing the services during your stay with us;
  • our use of your Personal Information is necessary to fulfill our statutory obligations with our regulators, tax officials, law enforcement bodies, or otherwise meet our legal responsibilities;
  • our use of your information is in our legitimate interest as a commercial organisation, for example to operate and improve our services and to keep people informed about our products and services (including for profiling and targeted advertising) – in which case we will look after your information at all times in a way that is proportionate and respects your privacy rights and you have a right to object to such processing at any time by sending us a request as detailed below.

Transfer of your Personal Information to another country 

We may transfer your Personal Information to another country to work with our agents and advisers who we use to deliver the services to you or to comply with a legal duty. If and when we do, we will ensure that your Personal Information is protected by putting in place a contract with the recipient of the Personal Information to safeguard the data being transferred.

Your rights

Under applicable data protection laws (including the Data Protection Act 2017 (Mauritius) and the General Data Protection Regulations), you have a number of important rights which you may exercise by writing to us at the address set out below, including your rights to receive a copy of your Personal Information, to amend, correct or in certain circumstances to erase your Personal Information or object to or restrict the processing of your Personal Information for specified purposes. However, to protect your Personal Information, we require that you prove your identity to us at the time the request is made, for instance by requesting for a copy of your government issued identification card. We may also require that you provide us with your other contact details or answer some other security questions to satisfy ourselves of your identity.

Upon receiving a request from you, we will use our best endeavours to reply to you as soon as possible within a month but our response time will depend on the complexity of your requests. We will respond to your requests free of charge unless if your request involves processing or retrieving a significant volume of data, or if we consider that your request is unfounded, excessive or repetitive in which case we reserve the right to charge a fee.

There may also be circumstances where we are not able to comply with your requests typically a request to erase your Personal Information or where you object to the processing of your Personal Information for a specific purpose or where you request that we restrict the use of your Personal Information – for instance where we need to keep your Personal Information to comply with a legal obligation or where we need to use such information to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim.

Keeping your Personal Information secured

We have appropriate security measures in place to prevent your Personal Information from being accidentally lost, or used or accessed in an unauthorised way, including appropriate encryption technologies. We limit access to your Personal Information to those who have a genuine business need to know it. Those processing your Personal Information will do so only in an authorised manner and will at all times be subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so.

How to complain
